Super-Sized in the Sauna

A favorite feature of Pfatter U’s fitness center is our sauna, a favorite spot for our students to simply relax and let go. Installed by a world-renowned, obese Finnish designer, the steam room has special properties that activates adipose tissue, resulting in a calming experience and a much softer physique for all who enter.

• Kieran had been suffering from an aching back ever since the hockey season ended. When his trainer recommended the sauna for some relief, he jumped at the opportunity. “You’ll need this,” the trainer said, handing him an extra-large towel, winking. Kieran didn’t think twice - all he was focused on was ridding himself of this back ache! He gingerly stepped in and cranked up the steam. As his pain dissipated, he leaned back, fully relaxed. When he picked his head up, he noticed some bloating in his midsection; suddenly, his belly lurched forward, rounding out and filling his entire lap. His pecs became soft with fat as his nipples inverted, his toned arms losing all definition as they expanded. His elation from the absence of back pain overrode the fear at his sudden transformation. Kieran jiggled his new belly happily - at least his back would be able to support this new weight, pain-free!
• Byron was stepping into the sauna after a long workout, just as Kieran’s transformation was finishing. He thought he recognized the face of his fellow history major through the double-chin and chubby cheeks. “Kieran?!” he sputtered, “what happened?” The newly-big Kieran shrugged. “I guess this sauna will really help you let go.” As tendrils of steam curled around him, Byron panicked and stepped out of the sauna, slamming the door. He wasn’t interested in getting softer - his abs were his prized possession. Grateful to have escaped, he sat on a locker room bench in his towel. Suddenly, he felt a warm feeling overtaking his body as his abs relaxed. Looks like even a few seconds in the Pfatter U sauna can have big consequences …
• Francis jolted awake as the steam rose around him. Did he fall asleep in the sauna? The stress and sleepless nights of playing the lead in Pfatter U’s production of “Newsies” was really getting to him as opening night drew nearer. It was no surprise he had dozed off. As he got up and opened the door, the towel wrapped around his dancer’s body started to slip. He reached up to adjust it and felt a softening in his chest. Confused, he pulled back the towel and saw that his taut physique was quickly giving way to an enormous, drooping belly and sagging chest. As he tried to squeeze through the door, his thighs inflated with fat, each quickly reaching the circumference his waist used to be. This warmth all over his body and the rush of endorphins had him feeling better than he had in months. Without a second thought he turned around and re-entered the sauna, making a mental note he’d need to call the costume designer to schedule a new fitting.
• Elliott’s performance in his culinary classes had really been underwhelming his professors. This morning, Professor Gras had tasted his deflated soufflé, looked him up and down, and declared in his thick French accent, “Never trust a skinny chef.” Defeated, Elliott headed to the gym to clear his head. As he got changed, he remembered the sauna - maybe some steam would help him unwind. He wrapped a towel around his waist and took a seat on the warm wood bench, dialing up the heat. As the steam released, he sighed contentedly as he leaned back, enveloped by a satisfying warmth. His body released all its tension, and Elliott suddenly felt … larger. When he looked down, he saw his once-skinny torso rising like a soufflé, soft and fluffy, though admittedly much heavier than the dessert. His stood up to take in his new heft. His weight now doubled, he felt a new confidence to do better in the kitchen - perhaps now Professor Gras would trust him.
